you dropped a bomb on me . . . baby

"Seed bomb" recipe . . . Courtesy of CarbonSmart.
  • Combine 2 parts mixed seeds with 3 parts compost. (Possibly potting soil instead)
  • Stir in 5 parts powdered red or brown clay.
  • Moisten with water until mixture is damp enough to mold into balls.
  • Pinch off a penny-sized piece of the clay mixture and roll it between the palms of your hands until it forms a tight ball (1 inch in diameter).
  • Set the balls on newspaper and allow to dry for 24 - 48 hours. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to sow.
Here's a picture from EcoLocalizer of the product in process . . .
